So, I post poems all the time. The thing is, they are all poems I've written. Okay, that's a lie, some have been poems written by my children. But this is different. In my move I came across some old poems which I apparently saved from my dancing days. Since it is unlikely they will make it through another move...I will memorialize them here...

a red dress hangs there,
as if you were there,
to fulfill it.
and yet it hangs
and you ignore it.
when you don it,
cinderella fit the finest knit.

Meejong
The sweetest
smiling eyes;
strong
and supple
as a monkey,
she climbs
to the top,
full of grace,
a circus performer
high above the crowd;
she is free
to be.
We earthbound mortals
gawk,
in silent admiration
of youth uncouth
and beauty
and grace.
Pity those
who cannot see
the sanctity
of nudity
and shrink from
life's best,
seeking
purity.
Uncouth youth
holds us
transfixed
as we stare
at all there is
or ever could be;
such beauty,
such grace,
such a sweet face;
a mere dollar
seems like an insult,
but like a
sparrow
offered on the altar,
it is graciously
accepted
with a knowing
smile.
